How to discard this product
Discard this product according to local regulations for the disposal of industrial waste. For disposal
in the USA, see the homepage of the Electronics Industries Alliance (http://www.eiae.org/) for the
correct method of disposal.
How to discard a used battery
Some FURUNO products have a battery(ies). To see if your product has a battery, see the chapter
on Maintenance. If a battery is used, tape the + and - terminals of the battery before disposal to pre-
vent fire, heat generation caused by short circuit.
In the European Union
The crossed-out trash can symbol indicates that all types of batter-
ies must not be discarded in standard trash, or at a trash site. Take
the used batteries to a battery collection site according to your na-
tional legislation and the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EU.
In the USA
The Mobius loop symbol (three chasing arrows) indicates that Ni-
Cd and lead-acid rechargeable batteries must be recycled. Take
the used batteries to a battery collection site according to local
laws.
In the other countries
There are no international standards for the battery recycle symbol. The number of symbols can in-
crease when the other countries make their own recycle symbols in the future.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
WARNING
Do not open the equipment.
The equipment uses high voltage that
can cause electrical shock. Refer any
repair work to a qualified technician.
Do not approach the antenna unit
closer than the distance shown
below when transmitting.
The radome emits radio waves that can
be harmful, particularly the eyes.
If water leaks into the equipment or
something is dropped into the
equipment, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard.
Fire or electrical shock can result.
If the equipment is giving off smoke
or fire, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard.

WARNING
If you feel the equipment is acting
abnormally or giving off strange
noises, immediately turn off the
power at the switchboard and
contact a FURUNO service techni-
cian.
Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury
can result.
Make sure no rain or water splash
leaks into the equipment protected
from the weather.

1. INMARSAT C SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
1.1 Introduction
The Inmarsat C system provides worldwide telex and data transmission and reception
of written information to owners of an Inmarsat C transceiver or a terrestrial telex net-
work via satellite. Further, e-mail can be sent via the internet.
Communication mode is store-and-forward telex, which means all information sent are
first stored at an LES (Land Earth Station) and then delivered to designated party.
An EGC (Enhanced Group Call) receiver is built in the FELCOM system to receive the
following types of messages, broadcast by LESs:
SafetyNET: Governments and maritime authorities can use this service to distribute
maritime safety information to ships within selected areas.
FleetNET: Commercial subscription organizations or shipping companies can use
this service to transmit trade information (for example, company news or market
prices) simultaneously to a selected group of ships, to provide up-to-the-minute in-
formation.
EGC system-related messages are sent by Inmarsat to certain shipping companies
and geographical areas.
Besides its primary application of ship-shore, shore-ship or ship-ship communications,
the Inmarsat C service has also proved beneficial to trucking firms who have found it
indispensable for communicating with their vehicles. This manual, however, concen-
trates on the ship applications, the main application.
1. INMARSAT C SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Inmarsat-C system configuration
The Inmarsat C system consists of the Operation Control Center (OCC), Satellite Con-
trol Centers (SCC), Network Coordination Stations (NCS), Land Earth Stations (LES)
and Mobile Earth Stations (MES). The OCC, located at Inmarsat’s London headquar-
ters, coordinates a wide range of activities in the Inmarsat system, including commis-
sioning of mobile earth stations.
The Inmarsat C system divides the world into four regions and each region is covered
by its own satellite.
Inmarsat system satellites
In each region there is one NCS and several LESs. The NCS keeps track of all Inmar-
sat C transceivers in its region and broadcasts information such as navigational warn-
ings, weather reports and news. The LESs provide the link between the MES and the
terrestrial telecommunications networks via satellite.

Types of MES
There are three types of MES: class 1, class 2 and class 3. This FELCOM is a class
2 MES.
Section Description
NCS common channel The NCS has two major functions:
Transmit information on a common channel.
Transmit EGC messages to MESs.
NCS/LES signaling link The NCS/LES signaling link connects the NCS to all
LESs in its region. All EGC messages pass through
this link.
LES TDM channel The LES TDM channel carries the circuit control sig-
nal for MES and transmits messages from LES to
MES.
MES message channel The MES message channel carries messages from
MES to LES.
MES signaling channel The MES signaling channel transmits requests, data
reports, etc. This channel also carries login and logout
from MES to NCS.
NCS/NCS signaling link This NCS/NCS signaling link connects all NCSs. This
link exchanges data between NCSs operating in dif-
ferent ocean regions.
MES interface The MES consists of the Data Circuit Terminating
Equipment (DCE) and the Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE). The DCE consists of the antenna unit, and the
DTE consists of a communication unit and terminal
unit (PC).
Terrestrial network interface The major functions of the LESs are:
• Telex store-and-forward conversion
Handling EGC messages
Data reporting and polling
Class 1: Transmits messages to LES.
Receives messages from LES.
Class 2: The functions of class 1 plus operation as an EGC receiver when not
transmitting or receiving.
• EGC-only receiver
Class 3: The function of class 1 plus simultaneous operation as an EGC-only receiv-
er.

ing messages via the Inmarsat system.
2.1.1 How to turn the power on and off
Press the POWER switch to power the communication unit and antenna unit on or off.
2.1.2 Diagnostics
When the communication unit is turned on it automatically conducts a series of diag-
nostic tests to check itself for proper operation. The test takes about 30 seconds and
the LEDs flash one by one, in the order of left to right. For further details, see Chapter
8.
2.2 Terminal Unit (PC) Operation
All operations are carried out from the terminal unit (local supply), through an easy-to-
follow menu system. In this manual the PC is referred to as “Terminal Unit.” Note that
it is necessary to supply a printer.
